European Expansion: G6 & G9 Rollout and Market Momentum
Following the massive June results, Xpeng has shifted its focus to cementing its presence in Europe. In mid‑June 2025, the company officially launched its upgraded G6 and flagship G9 Ultra‑Smart Premium SUV across key european markets.
The G9 stands out with industry-leading 525 kW ultra-fast charging, an impressive 570 km WLTP range (single-motor), and luxury features such as 10-point massage seats and a three-layer panoramic sunroof. Dealers are now accepting registrations, with orders scheduled to open in mid-July and deliveries planned for late summer to early autumn 2025 . This strategic European rollout positions Xpeng as a serious contender to rival premium EVs like the Mercedes EQS SUV and Tesla Model Y, with the G9’s class-defining tech and performance offering new competitive leverage in the region.

Why This Matters for Europe
Xpeng’s record-breaking performance is not just a Chinese achievement: it signals increasing readiness for European expansion. With a growing delivery scale and proven autonomous tech, Xpeng is poised to escalate its presence in key EV markets like Norway, Germany, France, and the UK. Its smart EV lineup—including the P7, G6/G7, and X9—is now gaining traction and should start hitting European roads by late 2025 or early 2026.
Xpeng vs. Tesla in Europe
Despite Tesla’s stronghold in Europe, growing competition from Xpeng is expected. Here’s a comparison based on the latest data:
| Feature | Xpeng | Tesla Model Y |
| June 2025 Deliveries | 34,611 units (+224 % YoY) | ~30,000 units |
| Autonomy | XNGP with 85 % urban adoption | FSD beta is available in limited markets |
| New Models | X9 launching globally mid‑2025 | Model Y Long Wheelbase in China |
| European Rollout | Multiple models entering H2 2025 | Strong infrastructure and early entry |
According to the chinese manufacturer, Xpeng’s ability to deliver scale and autonomy—combined with a diverse lineup—is precisely what gives it leverage against Tesla in Europe.
